I try to avoid telling the kids anything. Many are extremely rude and obnoxious. ( trying to be politically correct. You know how they act you can't say zoo or they act almost animal like but the behavior is deplorable. You can't reference the pigment of the students skin but we all know who the kids are. They don't act this way based on the skin pigment but nevertheless the poor behavior and academics speak volumes. I was told numerous times it must be my fault that the student sense I'm a racist or that I'm old and should retire but we all how absurd that sounds. Get this I was even lectured about the the impact of historical oppression and white privilege. It's a strange time in our nations history. The culture war is impacting every segment of our society. The students and our society need us to stand stronge and push back against the tide of political correcttness and educational apathy. I wish all my fellow teachers good luck and hope we all make it out in one piece. Why listen to me I'm just an old man who is constantly cursed out by students for attempting to enforce simple school rules. Why listen to me I'm just a 22yr veteran who is part of the problem. <br />Could you please sit down- fuck you<br />Could you please start the assignment- suck my dick<br />Could you please put your phone away- your getting me tight<br />You all know the rest.

Just because you, 4:01 Renassisance HS teacher are in a good school, you have absolutely no idea what you're taking about. You're in a place where teachers rarely take a day off, not where there's a 40% teacher absentee rate daily. Many of the schools I go into are dangerous, where staff are frequently assaulted. Now if that's happening to their regular teachers, how do you think the kids are treating ATRs? It took me most off the day to get over yesterday, it was that fucking bad. Ask a kid to stop blasting their cellphone and its 'Suck my dick, nigga' . Even the music blasts it over and over. How would you like that, Renassisance? Do your students treat you that way? I was in a decent school this year for exactly 2 weeks. I was rotated out of it because the school I'm in now couldn't get subs. They won't work in this school. It's been that way for me for the past 3 years. I want my own classes, where I know the kids and have a set routine. None of us are quitting. Get your head out of your ass and walk over to Pelham lab and sit in on some of those classes with the ATRs over there, tell Mr. Wagner, the best ATR he ever had there recommended you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-67087469203425935672017-02-18T19:39:28.361-05:002017-02-18T19:39:28.361-05:00Anon 4:01

We are witnessing something incredible here. ATR's who have been roaming from school to school, lounge to lounge, library to library, hiding and resting while watching Netflix, etc are slowly being placed. It took the DOE over 5 years to realize that ATR's are HAPPY! They would certainly remain an ATR FOREVER. The DOE just realized this when we said this years and years ago. NO ATR wants to be "placed". Hysterical! They actually might have to work now. 5, 6, 7, 8 years of doing nothing while earning full salary about to go back into 5 classes a day of 30+ students with the Danielson rubric.

She had been our Union rep (tenured) and actually stood up for our rights. Her designation was some kind of media arts license, though she had been doing English classes. They just excessed her butt out of there even though they didn't have to. She said she is happier now moving from school to school because of the reduction in immediate stress. (Our school is one of THOSE schools - reformy-crap, social justice claptrap, data, Danielson's, Common Core and all that). I have 7 years to go before I can retire at 55 with a reduced pension (which I am planning to do). I kind of hope to become an ATR too, but I doubt it will happen.

There's a great guy who's a licensed social studies teacher that has been with us for about a month. We have a vacancy, but they make him sit in front of the girls bathroom all day. Yesterday for some reason they had him sitting in the classroom while five unlicensed and inexperienced youngsters came in to do demo lessons. They never asked him to do one or interview, and they treat him like he's a piece of shit. I asked one AP why don't we hire him and he said he's too old, too set in his ways,and too expensive. I told the AP they are free. He said if you believe that one I have a bridge to sell you. The ATR got his new assignment yesterday. The schools will not be hiring ATRs for anything other than for provisional positions, and then only if they can't find anyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-44231155520339381582017-02-18T07:44:47.039-05:002017-02-18T07:44:47.039-05:00They just extended the deadline beyond Feb. 15 to ...They just extended the deadline beyond Feb. 15 to hire younger teachers even though they are not certified.
